European Countries

Who knows where the northern limit of Lycia zonaria's range is? Damn, in Budapest, the butterfly is already rushing with might and main, and in Moscow, the snow is rushing with might and main...

Polish collectors said that they have known isolated finds. And I got a male yesterday.
I tried to use a UV lamp yesterday-it was warm, +8, there was no wind. But-by zeros...

aaaaa licia zonaria!!!!

In Central Russia, too, there are also isolated ones: relatively modern finds are found in the Tula and Penza regions, while old ones are found in the Moscow and Kaluga regions.

It's funny, people catch, and we have minus 18 at night.
But during the day it is already melting.

So I decided to write a short report about a summer trip to the north-east of Spain (province of Girona) in the second half of July 2008.
I spent most of my time on the coast, where most of the butterflies flew in botsad. There I came across:
Papilio machaon from sailboats; V. cardui and V. atalanta from nymphalids; G. cleopatra, P. daplidice, P. napi and P. rapae from whiteflies. I was pleased to find a fairly battered female Maniola (Pyronia) bathsheba, also P. aegeria, A. circe and L. megera were found there. C. marshalli, L. pirithous, and P. icarus flew from pigeons (almost everywhere). Only C. alceae was found among the thickheads. There was no place to collect moth-like butterflies, but nevertheless I caught Proxenus hospes under a streetlamp, and in the afternoon I startled one hawk moth, H. livornica.
I found three types of barbels:Chlorophorus glabromaculatus, Chlorophorus varius and in the mass of Stenopterus rufus.
A great impression was made by the babbler Milesia crabroniformis, mimicking a hornet.

I was able to visit the Pirinae (Vall deNuria) at an altitude of about 2000 m, and it was interesting to see how the flowers that have already faded on the coast have not yet bloomed in the mountains. The temperature on July 23 was 16 degrees. From the train car, I saw P. apollo at an altitude of 1100 to 1650 m. In the mountain valley, many M. coridon flew, L. phales and P. semiargus, A. agestis were found. I have seen a single specimen of P. callidice and C. crocea. Many Melitaea athalia celadussa and one V. atalanta flew from nymphalids. Marigolds were represented by several species of Erebia (only the male Erebia triaria came close, and E. gorgone and E. oeme were very shy) and C. glycerion. Two species of bighead beetles were encountered: C. lavatherae and P. foulquieri. Also on the slopes in the mass flew a curious mountain firefly Pyrausta aerealis.
As for Coleoptera, many Anoplotrupes stercorosus flew, and on the shore of the lake I found several Cicindela campestris.

Recent photos are very similar to Gorny Altai

"I don't understand!"!! - And where does a live adult erect wing come from in the spring!!!??? "They don't overwinter!"!! "Just egg pods!"!! "It's written everywhere!"!! "I'm in shock!" -No matter how much I tried to find adults in March, I never met them...

This is Acrotylus sp. -- in Russian "winter fillies"

- If anyone knows , please send me a link on the biology of species of this genus that actually hibernate.
- And they mate, then, too, it turns out-in the spring? - once ON THE PHOTO MALE!

I searched, but couldn't find it. But they seem to be year-round, in Portugal I have already met them in spring, summer, and autumn.
In the Caucasus, by the way, they are - and they are quite noticeable, with red rear wings.

Right here by the way, my photos on them are

And here I am on the nature got out:

From March 28 to April 2, I went to Slovenia on business.

Great photos... Probably from a tripod?

It seems to me that the photo is not a bifid, but a bicaspis...although...?

And here are some more of mine: once and dvas.

Yesterday I watched the fees of a friend who has already collected under 500 scoops for the light. And I'm a fool sitting at work giving lectures

How's my friend Mathias?
They say he started drinking beer again.

this is firefly

What does it mean, a downpour? In a light rain at this temperature, it seems to fly best?

My reports won't be available yet. This is the second week in a row in Hungary

I sincerely sympathize. We also have almost all of June full of garbage with the weather.
As the weekend falls, so +10-12 degrees and rain. And I need to catch bees and flies on flowers

Mantispa (sp.)

Often in documentaries about insects, this reticulate wing is mistakenly called a praying mantis.I caught a couple in the crimea

 
According to the available letters.data - there are five similar species in Europe.

Those that I loail in Krymukakieto melkik see 2-3 in the wingspan

To Barko: What kind of lamp was caught? Do you want to share a recipe for wine bait? What about the beetles, other than the ones shown in the photo, did anything fly in?

I took a walk to my forest park (Wimbledon Common) with a flashlight.

The catch is as follows (all in good numbers, including wingless females):
Agriopis aurantiaria
Erannis defoliaria
Colotois pennaria
Operophtera brumata
Operophtera fagata
Conistra vaccinii

Meconema meridionale -"a Southern European grasshopper that has recently taken root in England, I haven't seen it before!

Very satisfied

What kind of animal is this?

Polymixis rufocincta
[attachmentid()=76308]

Isn't this Aporophyla canescens?

On November 19 and 20, I set three light traps on a karst in Slovenia.

fun micra (assembled ) needs to be defined

common micro types in this location (requires identification )

I'd like to see the first one straightened out.
The others are Udea ferrugalis, Nomophila noctuella and Palpita vitrealis.

Beauty! In Europe, they still catch butterflies, and we have snow outside the window...

Oh, and the pikes! Well done, Oleg!!!!

That's a crocodile! Kilogram, probably in his late twenties?
